Day three in Amsterdam already - we've tried to see as much as possible, though as Kevin mentioned earlier, jet-lag can be a downer. Thursday was pretty much a wash, without getting much sleep on our multiple flights over we were American zombies walking aimlessly through the City Centre. Did I mention that when we got off the train it was pouring outside. We're talking EXTREME rain. Luckily it cleared up a bit so we could find a place to stay.
Funny story - after spending the last 6 months doing nothing but research for this trip, I neglected to get a room for the first two nights. But fortunately Amsterdam is very traveler-friendly and we found a open room only a few blocks from Central Station called Hostel Aroza.

Bedtime was around 6PM Amsterdam time, 11AM Minnesota time. We woke up somewhat refreshed the next day, and headed out fairly early to see what Amsterdam had to offer. See pictures below of our adventures so far...

We've since left Hostel Aroza and are now staying at a Bed & Breakfast a little further outside of City Centre. The story of our walk to find the place will have to be for another time. Now, I need eat some fresh creme de fromage, fresh baguette, strawberries and wine. Goedenavond!
